This looks more like someone did it on purpose.
They’re all shifted down by one

From the top, #2 and #4 are in the correct positions.

Moving them just one is definitely not on purpose, that happens logically when you do as little lifting as possible (Open first, when opening second move it to cover first, repeat). On purpose would be them being totally random, that would have required more work.
jordanlund@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Let’s say your job is to check whatever is under those lids. How do you best mark it as having been done so you don’t re-open the same panel multiple times?

Chalk
- rain washes it off after a few weeks
- only have to open one at a time instead of 2+

Your loop condition fails the next street where there’s a round hole without a distinguishable pattern

You’d have to be pretty dumb to not be able to keep track of 6 lids in a line.

I feel like putting stuff back in the correct spot would fall under, “Yes, that’s part of your job.”

I mean, to be fair these guys are paid the lowest dollar and subcontracted at this point. They literally aren’t paid enough to make ends meet, they are too distracted worrying about their lives and family to both worrying about some poor design that involved having movable panels crossing a pattern forcing an unnecessarily specific alignment.

As every manhole I ever saw was put back in place in such a way, that the patterns don’t line up, I’m pretty sure, that the maintenance guys are doing this on purpose.

They’re trolling. It’s not just that they’re not paid enough to care, it’s that they’re so criminally underpaid, they’ve lost respect for everyone. If they were happy at their work, paid well, had benefits, and paid time off, and were treated well, they’d never consider trolling like this. We’d all feel like part of a community that respected and valued our input, and we’d all treat each other much better.
It’s a class war, and every year there’s less for us to share because the filthy rich refuse to share, and cannot be satisfied.

jake_jake_jake_@lemmy.world 1 month ago
I work for an telco and I have seen a lot of times that a contract for using preexisting underground infrastructure that have lids like this has a section requiring that they are returned to the same location and orientation when the enclosure is sealed.
Whoever owns that, municipality or private, will probably take a complaint about it, and may pass it to whoever is responsible or owns the plant inside.

“Not my fucking job”
AstralPath@lemmy.ca 1 month ago
Which is funny because if your job requires you to touch those lids, it would be your fucking job.
This is just the work of lazy fucks or they’re truly dumb as a bag of rocks.

Or a total asshole trying to fuck the rest of us anal motherfuckers. Lol
ZombiFrancis@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Two sets of lids were swapped. Those lids can be pretty heavy. Whats inside them usually are valves for plumbing.
So after the 100th set of valves you’ve backflow tested that day and you’re resetting the lids in 100F+ degree heat and you turn around as you’re walking away with your gear that you swapped two lids?
Well, having done this work at two different times in my life: the size of paycheck matters decidedly on whether that’s getting fixed.

I realized the lids are not wrong just not placed in the right spot.
BOLOID@pawb.social 1 month ago
Somebody spent time properly paving these covers so that they don’t interrupt the pattern, then later someone didn’t spent one second trying to put them back the way they were
plyth@feddit.org 1 month ago
didn’t spent one second
They did, and took pictures.

It’s somehow worse imo, why is there 1 random correct one?!
TheDirtyBubble@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
I think 2 are actually in the correct spot. It’s just looks wrong because the two next to it are swapped.

If you were the one being underpaid to do his job, you would do the same.
Hudell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 month ago
Someone went through all the trouble of carefully making everything match, only for others to not care enough to put in 0.1% of that effort and keep it in order when they work on it.
Seems like a great analogy for my work experience these days.

Somehow I can just tell where this photo was taken.
That is the most British looking paving slams I’ve ever seen.
unabart@sh.itjust.works 1 month ago
Imagine being an architect or engineer… fancy office, sweet ass car, six figures… and you sit down one day to engineer “where should we put the access panels?” or “where should we but the divider pavers?” and THIS was your solution.
sqw@lemmy.sdf.org 1 month ago
design challenge: invent a treatment for these access lids that allows them to be swapped around while remaining aesthetically pleasing. it occurred to me that some physical forcing function might keep them in the right order also…

Please put an NSFW tag on this. I was on the train and when I saw this I had to start furiously masterbating. Everyone else gave me strange looks and were saying things like “what the fuck” and “call the police”. I dropped my phone and everyone around me saw this image. Now there is a whole train of men masterbating together at this one image. This is all your fault, you could have prevented this if you had just tagged this post NSFW.
